Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal, who essayed the role of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in the biopic ‘Sam Bahadur’, is remembering the Indian war hero on his 110th birth anniversary.

On Wednesday, the actor took to the Stories section of his Instagram and shared a monochromatic picture of Sam Manekshaw posing proudly in his uniform for the camera. He can be seen standing near his Jeep.

Vicky wrote on the picture: “Remembering the legend on his 110th birth anniversary. Sam Bahadur.”

‘Sam Bahadur’, released in December last year and told the story of the legendary soldier, how he strengthened the army with his wit and decision-making abilities. The film, which also starred Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Neeraj Kabi, Edward Sonnenblick and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, clashed with the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer ‘Animal’ at the box office, with the latter emerging as one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.

Dhanush’s Captain Miller Is Ready To Release On Ott ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Dhanush’s latest Tamil period action-adventure film, Captain Miller, is ready to arrive on Ott after having a decent stint in the theaters. The film was released at the festival of Pongal and had to face a massive clash. While it clashed with Sivakarthikeyan’s Ayalaan in Tamil Nadu, with both films taking up maximum screens, Telugu films Guntur Kaaram, HanuMan, and Hindi-Tamil bilingual Merry Christmas also released on the same day.

With so many new releases at the box office, it was difficult for everyone to hold the fort strongly, but Dhanush‘s period drama tried hard to be relevant for a month before the film was finally ready to release on Ott.

Captain Miller and Ayalaan also clashed with Vijay Arun’s film Mission, which grabbed the minimum screens in this multi-faced clash. Now, as...

Devil: The British Secret Agent Movie Review Rating:

Star Cast: Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, Samyuktha Menon, Edward Sonnenblick, Elnaaz Norouzi

Director: Abhishek Nama & Naveen Medaram

Devil: The British Secret Agent Movie Review Is Out! (Picture Credit: IMDb)

What’s Good: The film excels in its grand storytelling ambitions, creating an immersive narrative that blends murder mystery and espionage thriller. The execution of thrilling scenes, particularly the investigation phase, captures attention. The opulent setting, art design, and commendable performances, led by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram and Samyuktha Menon, contribute positively.

What’s Bad: The film’s overt reliance on dramatic elements and the descent into chaos in the second half might leave viewers yearning for a more cohesive plot. Unrealistic fight sequences, bordering on superhero feats, detract from the otherwise engaging storyline.

Loo Break: At approximately the 41-minute mark, an item song with Elnaaz Norouzi takes center stage. If you’re in need of a well-timed break,...

From his posture to dialogues, and his looks, actor Vicky Kaushal looks every inch convincing as first field marshal, Sam Manekshaw, in the trailer of the biographical war drama ‘Sam Bahadur’, which was unveiled here on Tuesday.

The two minute 43 second trailer begins with a spine chilling recitation of the doha ‘soora so pahachaanie jo lare deen ke het..pooraja-pooraja kat mare kabahoo na chhaade khet’, by Vicky’s character as Sam.

What’s convincing is to see his character having a discussion with the ministers, including Fatima Sana Sheikh, who portrays late former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

The line “my soldiers don’t want normal. They want to win. I want to win”, shows him in a powerful light as Manekshaw, who is determined to triumph in every stage. However, Fatima doesn’t make an impressive impact as the late former Pm.

Veera Di Wedding

Starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Swara Bhaskara, Shikha Talsania

Directed by Shashanka Ghosh

You only live once…right? Best to make it as filled with festivity and joy as possible. Veera Di Wedding embraces the hollow yet strangely satisfying rituals (for some) of hedonistic living in Delhi’s upperclass business community (the kind that Sonam Kapoor has married into) with a rush of fervor that leaves the audience breathless.

The director quickly introduces us to the four childhood friends who grow up into designer glory by the time we settle down in our seats with our popcorn. Then the revelry never stops….

But wait, it’s not only about four frocked friends frolicking in froth. There is a secreted sorrow in all of this celebration. Kareena Kapoor playing Kalindi the quietest, saddest, most confused and most elegant of the four protagonists, has a distant far-away...
